TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 2003

The Nebraska Legislature will hold three hearings over the next two weeks addressing the sale of liquor in the town of Whiteclay.

According to The Omaha World-Herald, one would use liquor-tax proceeds for law enforcement at Whiteclay. Another would set up an alcohol-free buffer zone around the nearby Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where alcohol is banned.

The final would transfer law enforcement authority to the Oglala Lakota Tribe. The tribe has trust land near Whiteclay.
